"They collect, much more than they need, they just collect and collect, and they don't even know why anymore. Just like people. (...) If I work, I do it to live. But they live so that they can work forever on something that no longer makes sense. And in the end, they don't even live, they just work, work. Until they die. Like people who live in villages and cities and work all their lives, they carry a lot of things around them, and they don't even have time to enjoy life.

They collect, much more than they need, they just collect and collect, and they don't even know why anymore. Just like people. (...) If I work, I do it to live. But they live so that they can work forever on something that no longer makes sense. And in the end, they don't even live, they just work, work. Until they die. Like people who live in villages and cities and work all their lives, they carry a lot of things around them, and they don't even have time to enjoy life.
""Gyűjtenek, sokkal többet, mint amennyire szükségük van, mind csak gyűjtenek, gyűjtenek, s már nem is tudják, hogy miért. Mint az emberek, éppen. (...) Én ha valamit dolgozom, azért csinálom, hogy éljek. De ezek azért élnek, hogy örökösen dolgozhassanak valamit, aminek már nincsen is értelme. És a végén nem is élnek, csak dolgoznak, dolgoznak. Amíg meghalnak, addig. Mint az emberek, akik a falvakban élnek, meg a városokban, és egész életükben csak dolgoznak, hordják össze maguk köré a sok mindent, és nincs is idejük ahhoz, hogy örvendeni tudjanak az életnek."
